Equity is not equality. Knowing the difference, makes the difference.

Equity Matters transforms schools by equipping leaders with data-driven strategies and proven frameworks to close achievement gaps. Through targeted consulting and hands-on training, we help administrators maximize resources, implement high-impact instructional practices, and create measurable gains in student success—turning equity from aspiration into action.

Our Purpose

At Equity Matters Consulting, our purpose is to champion educational equity and excellence in every school we serve. We believe every student deserves access to meaningful, high-quality learning experiences that inspire growth and unlock potential. Our work focuses on empowering educators and school leaders with the tools, strategies, and frameworks to create learning environments where all students thrive.

Our Commitment

We are committed to advancing equity through actionable, evidence-based practices. Guided by our proprietary Five-Step Course Framework, we collaborate with educators, leaders, and communities to:

  • Eliminate systemic barriers to success.

  • Foster inclusive, responsive, and transformative classrooms.

  • Ensure that grade-level learning is accessible to all students.

Equity is at the heart of everything we do because we know that when equity leads, excellence follows.

Our Approach

Collaboration, Customization, and Coaching
We believe in meeting schools where they are while guiding them to where they want to be. Our approach includes:

  • Collaborative Professional Learning Sessions that refine Tier 1 instructional practices and fosters personal and professional growth and reflection.

  • Individualized Team or Individual Strategic Planning to align goals, policies, and practices with equity-focused outcomes.

Our Impact

Over the years, Equity Matters Consulting has worked alongside schools and districts across Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and DC to:

  • Close gaps in achievement using targeted data-driven strategies.

  • Accelerate learning outcomes for all student groups.

  • Equip educators with sustainable practices that improve classroom instruction and student engagement.

Our impact is measured in the success stories of students, the empowerment of teachers, and the transformation of school communities.
